Abstract: The invention relates to VDF polymer powders comprising primary particles having a median diameter in the range 15 to 50 microns and a total pore volume of 0.70 to 2.00 mL/g which are obtained by suspension polymerization. The powders can be used to form stable suspensions in water. The suspensions can be used in the preparation of articles such as components for batteries as well as membranes.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to vinylidene fluoride copolymers comprising recurring units derived from hydrophilic monomers and to their use as binder for electrodes in Li-ion batteries.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a polymeric composition comprising a polymer component A consisting of one or more vinylidene fluoride (VDF) homopolymers in an amount of 90-100% by weight of the polymer component A, and, optionally, of one or more VDF copolymers being present in an amount of 0-10% by weight of the polymer component A, a polymer component B, consisting of one or more (per)fluoropolyethers, in an amount of from 0.05 to 2% by weight based on the weight of polymer component A and a polymer component C, consisting of one or more per(halo)fluoropolymers, in an amount of from 0.1 to 10% by weight based on the weight of polymer component A. The composition is easily processable and have extremely high mechanical properties at elevated temperatures.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to a vinylidene fluoride polymer, to a process for manufacturing said vinylidene fluoride polymer and to an article comprising said vinylidene fluoride polymer.
